The Naturals Children's Book

Bio

I am a 45 year old twice-widowed mum of five and I have written ten connected children's stories. They are together in one book entitled 'The Naturals' which aims to help children see that our natural world is alive and compassionate and always has our best interests at heart! The heart of my stories lies within the Native American Proverb; 'We do not inherit the Earth from our ancestors; we borrow it from our children.' I hope after being read my stories, children will feel a sense of connection to our Earth and be inspired to revere, respect and protect it...

There are ten stories within my book, 'The Naturals': The Story of Cloudy, Snowy, Windy, Moony, Hailstones, Sunny, Rainbow, Rainy, Starry and Earth. They are to be read to 4-10 year olds so that they may feel the connection with our Natural World. Once they can feel that our Natural World is alive and compassionate and looking after us all, they will want to look after it right back! Here is a snippet from my final story in my book, 'The…

P.S. I see Juliet mentioned Twitter to you. Let me know when you're on there, or add the Twitter address here, and I'll add you to the list of C&NN Friends. One more way to keep in touch and help spread the word about everyone's activities.

Hi Sharon! I echo Juliet and John's welcomes and urging to join the International Group here, among others. I agree that your book sounds lovely - congratulations on publication! I hope you make yourself at home here and find the forum a rich source of resources and camaraderie.

I found the Twitter link! Twitter takes a wee bit of getting used to. It may be worthwhile going to Suz Lipman's twitter site - she runs it for C&NN and following everyone on the list! Also on my Twitter page I've different lists - so again looking at the play one, or the outdoor one, etc and following people there may help. Use the hashtags "playoutdoors" "children" and "nature" and these will help spread the word about your book.

I started off with one tweet per day until I got used to it all. I'm a slow learner.
